A new Star Wars kids series was announced this past week at Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim titled Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures. The new animated series will be set during the newly-explored High Republic era, taking place centuries before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
According to Lucasfilm, “the series will follow a group of Younglings as they study the ways of the Force and become Jedi, and learn compassion, self-discipline, teamwork, patience, and friendship.” The Jedi-in-training will tackle topics of compassion, self-discipline, teamwork, patience, and friendship, and the show will feature an appearance by Yoda.
Executive producer and showrunner Michael Olson revealed during the show’s announcement:
“This show centers on a group of Younglings who, their entire life, they’ve grown up in the Jedi temple on Coruscant. And Master Yoda realizes that it’s time for them to get some real life experience out in the field, putting their Jedi lessons into practice. So he sends them into different outpost temples in the Outer Rim, and together, they go on adventures saving the day and helping other people.”
We don’t have an exact release date yet, but we know that Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures will debut in the spring of 2023 on both Disney+ and the Disney Junior cable channel. Check out the announcement below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to this new series for young padawans.
